Figure 7.2-7.15 in high-resolution pdf format and Latex tables 7.5-7.8 in pdf format.

- Output
  Since some codes in the data preparation, for example, segmentation, take a long time (days) to run, interim output data are provided for convenience if scholars want to skip tokenization and use these outputs directly for data analyses. 

All of the following analyses were carried out using R version 4.0.5 on an 4.2 GHz Intel Core i7 Windows 64-bit Windows 10 pro operation system; they were also replicated on an 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 Macbook Pro running macOS Big Sur version 11.6. 

If you have any questions or difficulties replicating the analyses, please do not hesitate to contact me.
